I began watching MMA one evening on INHD. Tito Ortiz and Vitor Belfort were going at it. I was so impressed by these two guys and so invigorated by the action that I began seeking more of the sport. I watched every DVD I could find and I started purchasing PPV events. I analyzed the fight, observed the techniques, and I disciplined myself. I now feel that this sport is too violent and dangerous, and I will no longer be watching it. I urge you to do the same. The human body is too delicate; from the brain to the internal organs. Human beings are not fit for combat physically nor psychologically. How do you think it feels to have a hole open up on your forehead? How do you think Machida is dealing with his KO loss? You find it shockingly exhilarating? You find it amusing? Is there no love in this world? Can't we all pursue activities that expand our minds, that enhance human existence, and make the world a better place for all mankind? Friends, I beg of you stop before it is too late. Blood, blood, everywhere! O, the humanity.
I think violence connects us to our past, much like red meat, sex and cartoons. With that said, I do appreciate a good KO or sub over a bloodbath. Then again as I get older, sometimes eating a good rare steak while watching Bugs Bunny is better than sex. maybe i've said too much.

What are you basing this on? If that is his true opinion then leave the guy alone.. hes entitled to it.. He makes a decent point or two.. But if this is a troll job.. I certainly fell for it :|

MMA is more violent now then it was in the early days of MMA? Dumb.
The Human body is too delicate for combat? Dumb.
He makes no valid points, and is basically coming to an MMA forum to urge people to stop watching MMA? Dumb.
I really hope this is just someone trolling cause it would bother me that someone so dumb actually exists out there...
If your argument made any logic then they need to shut down the NFL ASAP cause of all the head injuries and concussions suffered there... :roll:

Hmm? I thought that the MAIN point of football was to get the ball to the opposing teams endzone?? am I wrong? Now what is the MAIN point of MMA??.. Hence your logic is flawed here..

I hope you do and I hope I'm there with a camera.
On a serious note though: How the f--- do you know what kind of person he is? Are you judging his entire character and morals based on a bad decision to hold a submission for an extra second even though Drwal was not seriously injured in anyway? What makes you so high and mighty? Have you lead some totally perfect life that gives you the credentials to pass judgment on people you don't even know? I'm glad to hear you are walking away from MMA because based on that one sentence I think you are screwed up person and bad for the sport of MMA. Doesn't feel so good does it?
Also if MMA is "too violent and dangerous" I guess you will also refrain from watching football, boxing, soccer, hockey, and all the other sports that can and do results in more serious injuries and deaths than MMA.
I just noticed the guy has almost 600 posts so maybe it isn't just trolling? But truthfully after watching the Cyborg/Finney fight Saturday, I wondered if there needs to be better way to handle certain situations.
